Otolaryngology workforce was defined by horizontal aggregation of otolaryngologists into larger group models, with fewer solo practitioners being replaced by younger otolaryngologists or employing otolaryngology extenders. Excluding academic practice, few otolaryngologists have chosen direct hospital employment as a career option, although otolaryngologists with fewer years of practice are pursuing that option with greater frequency. Ancillary services showed audiology and hearing aid services being the most common, followed by otolaryngic allergy, point\u2010of\u2010service computed tomography, and ultrasound. Although otolaryngologists tend to avoid vertical integration, ambulatory surgery center (ASC) ownership trends favor a joint venture model with a hospital system partner. Most otolaryngologists favor changes to certificate of need legislation to improve patient access to these lower\u2010cost facilities, regardless of whether they currently utilize or have access to an ASC.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Otolaryngology is uniquely positioned to adapt and respond to current paradigm shifts within ambulatory medicine. Further analysis is needed to prepare current and future otolaryngologists for the demands and opportunities these challenges pose as patient\u2010centered care models and consumer dynamics shape future patient expectations and utilization of healthcare.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Level of Evidence<\/jats:title><jats:p>5. <jats:italic>Laryngoscope<\/jats:italic>, 2490\u20132499, 2018<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.27196","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,4]],"date-time":"2018-05-04T10:27:08Z","timestamp":1525429628000},"page":"2490-2499","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Contemporary analysis of practicing otolaryngologists"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"128","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4782-1343","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Willard C.","family":"Harrill","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Carolina Ear, Nose &amp; Throat\/Head and Neck Surgery Center, PA Hickory North Carolina"},{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center Winston-Salem North Carolina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David E.","family":"Melon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center Winston-Salem North Carolina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Merritt J.","family":"Seshul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center Winston-Salem North Carolina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marc S.","family":"Katz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Carolina Ear, Nose &amp; Throat\/Head and Neck Surgery Center, PA Hickory North Carolina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adam M.","family":"Zanation","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\/Head and Neck Surgery and Neurosurgery University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Chapel Hill North Carolina U.S.A"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","unstructured":"Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
